The Tri-Pod in Ceredigion is on a secluded farm which has a hot tub, a fire pit and ‘adorable’ alpacas roaming freely.
Sykes Cottages offers a wide range of places to stay across Wales, making it an easy option for a restorative break without the need to travel far. It is the perfect solution for a getaway and Wales does not have a shortage of beautiful accommodations.
One particularly eye-catching stay is the Tri-Pod, located near Llanarth, a small village in Ceredigion, just a short drive from the Cardigan Bay coastline. The Tri-Pod makes for the “perfect getaway for couples” to celebrate a special milestone.
Set on a farm, the Tri-Pod feels tucked away, with open greenery all around and alpacas “roaming freely” nearby, a detail many guests mention as a highlight of their stay.
Inside, there is a seating area, a tv and a small yet well-equipped kitchen. The ground floor also features a modern shower and up the swirling stairs is a king size bed overlooking the ground floor.
The outside area of the Tri-Pod features a covered seating area which makes it easy to enjoy the countryside even on rainy days, while the triangular deck, designed to mirror the shape of the pod itself is perfect for warmer weather. With a fire pit and a private hot tub, it’s an easy place to spend your time relaxing.
Prices for a stay between February and March start from £636 for three to six nights. Rates increase slightly from April onwards, with a five-night stay costing £743.
For those looking for a bit more space, the Gwyddfyd cottage, also set in the Ceredigion countryside, offers a larger, modern layout complete with spa facilities. A seven-night stay is currently priced at £657, reduced from £764.
Meanwhile, larger groups may prefer Glanduad Fawr in Pembrokeshire, a three-floor property with six bedrooms that is big enough for up to 12 people.
The Tri-Pod itself has attracted visitors from all over the UK. One guest travelling from Kent described it as “a breath of fresh air”. The satisfied guest said; “From the moment we arrived, we knew this place was something special. It’s the perfect getaway for couples who want to relax, unwind, and enjoy some peaceful time away from the city especially for someone like me coming from Kent, it felt like a breath of fresh air.”
Travel Journalist, Portia Jones, visited the Tri-Pod in 2024 and said it “isn’t your average country escape, it’s a showstopper.”
Another five star review stressed their great stay and said: “Beautiful accommodation and so private. Set in a small fenced off field with no other accommodation overlooking us, the views were stunning over open countryside and we did not expect to be able to see the sea in the distance. The tri-pod itself was clean and modern and big enough for the 2 of us.”
However, the reviewer did go on to point out that the stairs were steep and might be an issue for some people. “The stairs to the bedroom are steep (which we were aware of) and therefore I would not recommend this for anyone with mobility problems.”
Architecturally, the Tri-Pod stands out for its triangular design and dark exterior. A short path from the off-road parking available leads across the field to the pod and the location of it is not far from New Quay and Aberaeron.
